Bringing together two of the largest brands from the opposite ends of local streetwear spectrum, Pestle Mortar Clothing and Nerdunit recently unveiled their first joint effort. “Riot For Peace” showcases how the stylistic contrast between the two brands can be brought together in a cohesive design aesthetic.

Marrying the soft pastel elements and hippie-inspired psychedelic designs of the “flower child” hoodie with the raw energy exuded from a leather biker jacket; The “Riot For Peace” Collection is a juxtaposition on a greater scale that transcends simple clothing design.The garments are versatile and easily ready to be worn by members of both sexes.
